However, Qu Tutong Yaojunsu is a veteran of many battles. How can Tang Jun retreat easily? I’m afraid a pursuit of Tang Jun’s foot soldiers has many injuries. Li Jiancheng’s hand on the female wall is limited to melancholy. Datang founded the country, but after several years, Changan still has to sit tight. Will it be destroyed? Is heaven so mean to Lee?
Li Jiancheng shook his head. No matter what, he always insisted on going. He didn’t give up in his heart.
Tens of thousands of troops marched on Chang ‘an in the Great Sui Dynasty, and immediately took Yongfengcang and Huayin to force Weinan Yang You to suspend Weinan to observe Li Shimin’s movements. Otherwise, Li Shimin withdrew from the river regardless of Chang ‘an’s life or death.
On the other hand, news came from the Royal Guards that Tang Jun retreated from the western and southern lines, and Qu Tutong and Yao Junsu led troops to pursue and defeat Tang Jun. After that, the army captured more than 3,000 prisoners in Tang Jun, and more than 30,000 Tang Jun remnants fled back to Chang ‘an.
These more than 30,000 people are not much different for Yang You and a person. The more soldiers in Tang Jun, the more food consumption in Chang ‘an, which is a great pressure for the lack of food. In order to maintain Chang ‘an garrison, Li Jiancheng has to bite his teeth to accept these soldiers, otherwise Chang ‘an will be able to defend.
After getting the confirmed news, Yang You unhurriedly sent Feng Zhijian, Qiu Shili and others to recruit the counties and invade Chang ‘an.
At the end of summer, three armies of Sui Emperor Yang Gang, Longxi Road Manager Qu Tutong and Hanzhong Road Manager Yao Junsu headed for Chang ‘an to prepare for the restoration of Chang ‘an, the old capital of the Sui Dynasty. On the other side, Hou Jun rode out of the chariot and harassed Jiang County, Wenxi County and Zhengping County of Jiang County. At that time, the people of the county were frightened and the people dragged their children and fled into the city.
When Li Shimin got the news, he immediately led troops to settle in Jiangxian County, where Hou Jun must pass. When Hou Jun saw Li Shimin leading troops to kill, he returned to wait for the opportunity. At this time, Li Jing, Pingyao, Jiexiu, Lingshi and other counties in Xihe County, and the counties such as Lishi and Loufan in Bingzhou, which got the news, also chose to surrender in succession. Most counties and counties in Beibing returned to Da Sui, and Li Jing still made the counties autonomous. At this time, all counties and counties should remain stable, but their affairs will naturally be dealt with after reunification.
Later, Li Jing and Su Dingfang stationed troops in Huoyi City to seize this important pass in Linfen County. The commander of Huoyi is Li Chongyi in Li Xiaogong. When he got the news of Li Jing’s attack, he immediately sent someone to inform Li Shimin and sent someone to Chang ‘an to ask Chang ‘an to send troops to support him.
At that time, counties and counties in central and southern Bing became suddenly nervous, and people traveled without worrying, especially in several counties and counties at the front line, and the gates were closed, and people hid in their homes and stayed at home.
Li Shentong originally sent troops from Mighty to besiege Longxi, but after several months, Xue Renyue was unable to defend Jincheng and was ordered by Li Shimin to lead troops to South to support Chang ‘an.
With the movement of troops from all sides, everyone knows that the Dingding Tianzhan will be short, ranging from more than half a year to two years. This battle will end, and the East and West Turks will even turn their attention to a unified Sui Dynasty. They don’t want to see that the East Turkistan has temporarily invaded the south because of the sudden benefit of the little Khan, and the West Turkistan has not moved troops because of the various parts of Tiele.

Chapter 14 Worry and Joy
The surrender of Zhangcheng in Weinan County seems to be a surrender of one city, but the actual effect is terrible. Although Yang You’s reward for Zhangcheng is not rich, it deeply affects the decrees and secretariat of counties in China.
After Wu Shihuo retreated from Fufeng County, Fufeng County was short of troops and fell without fighting. Fufeng County fell into the hands of Da Sui, while after Pei Ji retreated in the north, Qu Tutong marched all the way, and Xinping, Wugong and Yan counties in all counties raised their flags and fell.
After Yang You led his troops to Xinfeng, he was temporarily stationed in Sui Jun to build siege equipment every day to prepare for the siege of Chang ‘an. In mid-September, Qu Tutong and Yao Junsu led their troops to kill around Chang ‘an. Li Jiancheng got the news that Wu Shihuo and Pei Ji led their troops to station 20,000 troops in Xianyang and Chang ‘an old city to defend Chang ‘an.
Sui Jun’s strength killed this day. Although Li Jiancheng had long thought about it several times, when this day came, he was still full of worries. Li Jian’s kindness does not mean that he has no scheming and ability. He has long known that once Wu Shihuo and Pei Ji were ordered to retreat, the consequences would be the same.
It’s like having rotten Hu cakes in front of a hungry person. If you don’t eat them, you will starve to death. If you don’t starve to death, you will have diarrhea in Li Jiancheng. Although this is a strategy, it is the only hope for Datang to live.
Li Jiancheng is tearing Qu Tutong and Yao Junsu apart, which makes the ancient city of Xianyang and Chang ‘an strengthen. Fortunately, Sui Jun has not invaded Chang ‘an for the time being, so that Li Jiancheng can deploy everything when he has more.
Force defense is not a strategy. At this time, there are two reinforcements in Changan, one is Qin Wang Li Shimin and the other is Wuwei Li Shentong. At this time, Li Jiancheng is also very clear that since Qin Wang Li Shimin has returned to Hedong, it is almost impossible for Excavate and Hou Jun to bully Hedong counties to want Li Shimin to support Changan.
Li Jiancheng had some regrets in his heart. He didn’t expect that Li Shimin would make such a choice at this critical moment, which made him too disappointed. But after all, he was deeply brotherly and Li Jiancheng also treated Li Shimin’s wife and hands.
Li Jiancheng can hope that Li Shentong reinforcements can kill Chang ‘an, Li Shentong and Liangzhou. Most of the soldiers are cavalry, which is a great battle force. It is not necessary to have no ability to fight in World War I.
Just when Li Jiancheng was thinking about it, Dou Shigan hurried in and said a few words beside him. Li Jiancheng suddenly struck the table and said, "How dare I do this?"
He never imagined that Li Shimin would send someone to secretly pick up his wife and children. This pendulum is to stand on its own two feet in Hedong! But there are eggs in the nest? Doesn’t he know that Chang ‘an can be independent once it falls into Hedong?
Li Jiancheng thought for half a ring with a frown and finally sighed naively-what else could he do?
Chang ‘an Imperial City Li Yuan Zhang Yingying supported ZhengXuanwu Lake to walk and recover. Since knowing Li Shimin’s poison, Li Yuan’s heart was full of disappointment. He was poisoned deeply, and he was old and nursed back to health for a long time, but his health was still poor.
At this time, Tang gaozu is still worried that the aggressive war in various places has greatly increased the pressure on his heart. However, according to Tai, although Sui Jun is aggressive, he is brave and the situation blocked by Datang soldiers has become more and more favorable to Datang.
Li Jiancheng reported good news but not bad news, or concealed the truth because he didn’t want his father to worry that he could not bear it. Li Jiancheng was out of kindness and knew that once the news leaked, it would be a huge blow to his father. Li Jiancheng presented it to Tang gaozu after revision.
Tang gaozu walked for half a ring and felt a little tired. He sat in the pavilion and gasped, "I am tired and have a rest."
Zhang Yingying first ordered the maid-in-waiting to pad the pad, which helped him sit down and brought tea to Tang gaozu. He slowly drank too much and reported that Qin Wangli’s resistance to the strong enemy, Sui Emperor Yang Wei, had been frustrated many times, and he still needed his father and soldiers to fight. Tang gaozu’s heart gradually eased.
At this time, Tang gaozu didn’t know that the whole situation had changed greatly. A total of more than 100,000 troops in Sui gradually formed an attack on Chang ‘an. How would he look once he knew the news?
Yang You, Xinfeng County, Jingzhao County, the former Sui Dynasty, set up the camp here, which was a resounding time in Yang You.
Qu Tutong, the general manager of Longxi Road, led Sang Xianhe, Xi Junmai, Liang Jianfang and other generals. Yao Junsu, the general manager of Hanzhong Road, led Wang Hang to see Yang You and Qu Tutong. For several years, Yang You was naturally very excited. Xi Junmai and Liang Jianfang were bought by Yang You Ndeyou, and even more, they were rewarded by Yang You. The iron arrow was especially admired for Yang You.
Xi Jun didn’t dare to seriously see if Yang You bowed his head and Liang Jianfang did the same.
Yang You, Qu Tutong, Yao Junsu first described this before looking at Xi Junmai, Liang Jianfang and other military commanders. When Yang You saw a man with thick arms, he knew that this man was Xi Junmai, Yang You and Dugu Qianshan. He took out ten iron arrows, saying, "Xi Aiqing, this is my pro-iron arrow. I know that you can shoot more with iron arrows." Now Yang You doesn’t need to kill the enemy in an array, although it is still plotting. It is better to give Xi Junmai more iron arrows to kill the enemy to play the greatest role.
Xi Jun bought his heart and was moved to remember his name, which proved that he had a position in Yang You’s heart. "I bought my humble servant Xi Jun and thanked him for his kindness. I should take this arrow and kill Hu Lu more."
Yang You smiled and looked at Liang Jianfang. "Liang Aiqing I know that you are good at making pike I have a weapon you can try." Dugu Qianshan took out a weapon again.
This is a pike with a handle, but it’s usually different. It’s a hook and sickle gun of later generations. This gun is made of pure steel. Liang Jianfang is a discerning person. He immediately saluted, "I’m Liang Jianfang, thank you for your position."
"Liang Aiqing stood up" said Yang You. "Although I have never been to Longxi, I also know that the Longxi army has withstood the attack of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty under great pressure and has attacked Liangzhou several times in an attempt to restore the great Sui Dynasty."
"It is because of your loyalty and patriotism that you can destroy the quartet anti-thieves and restore the Central Plains. Xi Aiqing and Liang Aiqing, the main manager of the flexor, have repeatedly advised that the two loves are not brave enough. I hope that in the future, the two loves will be able to expand their territory and establish a career that will not be achieved in the future. Naturally, there are two loves who will not be named." Yang You laughed.
Liang Jianfang and Xi Junmai are not only an encouragement, but also a promise. How many people yearn for a place in history?
After a brief reminiscence, the monarch and his subjects turned to the war in Chang ‘an. At this time, the news from all parties has been delivered to Li Jiancheng through the Royal Guards. It is a plot to station military forces in the ancient city of Chang ‘an in Xianyang, so that Chang ‘an will not be besieged by death, so that it can protect Chang ‘an without losing its ability.
However, it happened that Yang You was in no hurry. The Sui Dynasty has recovered four-fifths of the day, and the land soldiers are well-fed and there is no shortage of food. The situation of Lien Chan’s winning streak is strong. On the other hand, Tang Jun’s morale is low, and the lack of food is extremely unfavorable to the pseudo-Tang Dynasty
The key is Yang You’s intention to besiege the city for Dayuan, because Yang You knows very well that even if Chang ‘an is captured and Tang gaozu is captured, or Li Jiancheng Hedong mercenaries stand on their own feet, Li Shimin will never surrender. The hatred between them is too deep to die.
At the beginning, Li Shimin once suggested that Tang gaozu dig Yang’s ancestral grave. Although it was pressed by Li Jiancheng, Yang You remembered that his blood was flowing in his heart. Even though his soul came from thousands of years later, someone dared to do so. How can Yang You not remember clearly?
Now that Li Shimin has returned to Hedong and refused to support Changan Yang You, it will not be forced to support Changan Hedong for a long time. Yang You is waiting for another person, Li Shentong.
Speaking of which, Yang You and Li Shentong met several times, and each time Li Shentong suffered a great loss, he was even captured twice, and Yang You and Li Shentong exchanged for Li Jing’s wife, children and completely gained Li Jing’s loyalty.
Yang You doesn’t worry about Li Shentong or Chang ‘an Li Jiancheng, but if he takes Chang ‘an Li Shentong in one fell swoop and gets the news, he will either withdraw Liangzhou or join forces with Li Shimin, and neither Yang You is allowed.
In particular, let Li Shentong retreat to Liangzhou. I am afraid that this person will be in cahoots with the Turks. Once the Turks attack the Central Plains, which Yang You does not want to unify, the need of the Sui Dynasty is to recuperate. The chaos has been going on for too long, and the people have suffered a lot, especially in China and Bingzhou, which are often threatened by the Turks. The same is true of Hebei.
After slowing down, Da Sui accumulated enough national strength to support the goal of Yang You in the southern expedition and northern expedition.
Li Shentong is a loyal person. When he hears that Chang ‘an is besieged, he will inevitably lead troops to participate in Chang ‘an War. At that time, Yang You will panic in Li Shentong and recover Chang ‘an, so as to make room for Li Shimin.
Yang You plans to do this, and his ministers have nodded their heads in approval. After the deployment of Yang You, Qu Tutong, Yao Junsu and his troops left their respective places according to the Yang You plan. Xi Junmai, Liang Jianfang and others can leave Xinfeng even if they don’t give up.
Du Ruhui smoothed her hand. Although she agreed with Hu’s words in her heart, both of them decided that Li Shimin would eventually choose? Although he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Hedong, he also means to stand on his own feet. But once Chang ‘an falls, it is of great significance. Li Shimin is not a fool. How can he not see the impact of Chang ‘an’s fall?
Yang You wanted to think about the command to make Feng Zhiqian and Guang Shen lead ten thousand troops to Feng Yi County to seize Longmen Crossing and firmly seal off Li Shimin’s support. It may be so that Li Shimin will be sealed off in Hedong County, etc. When the war is over, Li Shimin will be like a grasshopper scampering for a few days.
Chapter 15 Choose your own way
Sui Jun is gradually approaching Chang ‘an, and around it, great construction is being done to cut down trees and make instruments. Most of the fertile fields in the central plains fall into Sui Jun’s hands, and instead of retreating into the city, Yang You, the people, does not adopt a high-handed policy, but sends people to appease them.
Days of turmoil or people suffer, except for a few traitors, most of them are overwhelmed by the general trend. Yang You sent a large number of messengers to appease the people everywhere, and most of them surrendered. Yang You, a county in the Great Sui Dynasty, tried to make no commotion. After all, it was the first few times that Yang You, a subject of the Great Sui Dynasty, gave alms and won the support of the people.
Nowadays, the Great Sui Dynasty came to Julian Waghann every day to reunify the world. If it weren’t for idiots, everyone knew that this day would be human. Besides, for ordinary people, it didn’t matter who sat in the golden palace, so it wasn’t the same for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Who was the emperor?
In this case, Yang You’s appeasement is very effective. Martial arts, Yan County and other places restore calm, and people go out of the city every day in an orderly way.
Sui Jun’s unhurried action once puzzled Li Jiancheng, but he soon understood Yang You’s trick. Yang You didn’t do it for two purposes. On the one hand, he wanted to wait for Li Shentong or Li Shimin to help the city to encircle the city, and on the other hand, he wanted to run out of the little food in Datang.
Moreover, Chang ‘an is, after all, the old capital of the Sui Dynasty. Yang You grew up in Chang ‘an, and maybe he couldn’t bear to destroy the painstaking efforts of his ancestors. Chang ‘an, the largest city in the Central Plains, was the painstaking efforts of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty and Emperor Wen of Sui, while Luoyang was the painstaking efforts of Yang Guang, the descendant of Yang. Yang You could not bear to destroy these two cities. This thought made Yang You understand his thoughts.
Now it seems that Yang You will not be in a hurry to attack the city, just like attacking Luoyang. Li Jiancheng, the siege master, thinks it is necessary to strengthen Chang ‘an defense, but Datang’s troops are stretched. Where should the reinforcements go?
Li Jiancheng thought and thought, but there was no idea in his heart. There was little hope in Li Shimin, and it was unknown whether Li Shentong could arrive in Chang ‘an smoothly, and I’m afraid it would not be of much benefit to the war.
Still need to find foreign aid, but the foreign aid department? Li Jiancheng broke his head and thought of Turks, but Li Jiancheng’s heart led Turks into the Central Plains and he didn’t want to. After all, if it was not my family’s heart, it would be different from Wude. In three years, he led troops to North Bing to resist treacherous Turks.
He doesn’t want to rely on Turks, let alone want to, but what should he do? Li Jiancheng for a long time did not consider the good plan.
After half a month’s preparation, Sui Jun gradually completed the encirclement period. Li Jiancheng sent cavalry to harass Sui Jun several times, but was defeated by Yang You’s design. Since then, Li Jiancheng has become frightened and knows that Sui Jun is ready to send troops to attack easily.
In this situation, Li Jiancheng secretly sent messengers to Hedong several times to let Li Shimin speed up support for Chang’ an and Li Shimin. After receiving the letter, Li Jingzheng besieged Huoyi Houjun and often refused.
